Diamonds in Her Shoes,

store in South Orange, N. j., last Friday
evening, carelessiy swinging new pair
of ladies' shoes. He said that Mrs. F.
Henriques of RidgeWood Road, wife OF q
wealthy New York business man, wanted
the shoes stretched. William Van Ider-
slime laid the shoes on the counter and
turned to serve g customer. a few mlE-
utes later he picked up one Of the shoes
and thrust his hand into it. Up at the
toe he felt an obstruction, which proved
to DE small chamois bag. On opening
the bag he found that 1t contained four
diamond rings, pair OF solitaire diamond
EARRINGS, brosch set with ten large dla-
monds, ard that two Of the rings contained
clusters OF diamonds. The gems were
valued at S20ss, snd Mr.. Iderstine at once
hurried to Mrs. Henriques' residence with
them. she met him at the door, aid he
asked il size had anything in the shoes

POWDERLPS ENEMIES.

The harmonious outcome of the recent
meeting of the general assembly Of the
Knights of Labor in Minneapolis, and the
vigorous manner in which the anarchists
were condemned, has fired the violent ell
ement in the Chicago Knights Of Labor
into rebellion. They propose forming O
new order or labor ism, free and indie
pendent Of the old order, and have gent
out circulars announcing their intention
and calling for adherents. Addressing
the "rauk and file" of the order the cir
cular says: Indignant ct the usurpation
of power and gross violation of the laws

DISTRIBUTING facilities are essential to
the building of city. Fort Worth now
has ten outlets by rail and will add the
eleventh before January next. These
eleven outlets are not short connecting
branches, but the main lines OF such
trunk roads as the Texas and Pacific, the
Missouri Pacific, the Atchison, TopeKs
and Santa Fe, the Fort Worth and Der
yer, the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas
eft al. And in twelve months from this
date Fort Worth will have fourteen out
lets by rail. With these arteries OF com
merce at her command, Fort Worth locks
forward confidently to future that will
bring traders, manufacturers and all who
would reach the various sections and
peoples of Texas. This splendid system
of railroads mesns growth Of trade, pop

TELEGRAPH RATES 60 UP.
Western Union Executives Con emit Them
selves with Lifting 3. i Rates Only.

NEW YORK. Oct. 19.-The Western
Union officials continue to announce that
they have not raised their telR graph rates.
This is technically true, but they have
raised the rates of the Baltimore and OHIO
Company, which they own. Orders have
been Issued that the rates Of the latter be
made the same as those of the Western
Union, thus doing away with cheap tele-
graphing. This afternoon the executive
committee OF the Western Uoion adopted
the following resolution: Chat no al
vance in the rates heretofore charged by
this company be made except in
cases of the 10 aud Is cent rates between
points where the handling Of business at
these rates has made an absolute loss,
and thst the officers of the company be
empowered and directed TO reduce the
rates now charged wherever in their ludg-
ment such reduction should be made"
Some time ago the Baltimore and Ohio
cut the rstes to all competitive points
and thereby obtained a big business and
| forced the Postal Company TO come down
| in its charges. 1t had no effect, however,
upon the Western Union, which main
tanned it's tariff, and whose officers said
the business could only be done at q loss
at such low figures as were charged by
the Baltimore and Ohio.
| Chicago and New York will both fee
the change, as 1t does away with the Ii
cent rate between these cities, and re
restores the old price Of 80 cents fol-
each message. The volume of business
between these two places is very large
and it is also between this city, Philadel-
phia, Boston and several other important
centers, between which low tariffs also
| prevailed.
Orders have been received for the clos
| ing Of q large number of the Baltimore
and Ohio Offices as soon IS the arrange
ments are completed for handling The
| business in the Western Union Offices
This work is going forward rapidly, ard
by November will be nearly finished.

timore and Oaio will be retained, but s

THE TAX ON TOBACCO.
Mr.. Carlisle Only Committed to Rspesl
of the License s. stem.

WASHINGTON, Oct. let is intimeted
here that mistake prevails in the popu-
lsr conception as to the extent to which
Mr.. Carlisle aud his friends are willing
to 90 in reducing internal revenues: that
they are not committed to a repeal OF the
whole tax on tobacco, but only OF the
license system Of the law, which requires
every deSlsr in tobacco TO take out L.
cepse end for6ids the sale OF tobacco By
the grower to any other than licensed
dealer.
This puts q very different aspect on
! this highly impnrtanfmatIer. II only the
| license feature of the law is abolished the
| revenue will be reduced but about $685.
| 600. L is the tax on cigars and manu-
| featured tobacco that yields the $50 O0O,-
| 900 that Mr.. Randall and his friends are
demanding shall be abolished. Il Is the
clamor that comes from the farmers thst
Mr.. Carlisle hss yielded to in this MISTER.
Tley are the ones complaining most OF
the revenue law relating TO tobacco.
They declare that the law, in forcing
them to sell the product OF their labor
ONLY to licensed dealers, circumscrloes
their opportunity and forces down the
price. They ask to be permitted to dis
pose of their tobacco as they do any other
production of their crop to whomsoever
tney please without condition or restric-
ton.
The manufacturers on the other hand,
il Is said, prefer that the tax be kept on
the manufactured articles. The govern
ment thereby assumes the protection OF
their private brands against Infringement,
and in a measure beneficial to themselves
regulates the whole trade. The manu!ac-
turer does not take the tax into account
at all, and its collection works no hard
ship whatever to him. He has never
joined in any petition for repesl OF the
law.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
said to the Star correspondent to-day: 81
do not think it wise to talk OF taking
OF the tobacco tsx. 1t ought to
be left just where it is. AS to the com
plant made by the farmers, l think
1t illgrounded. 1 DOUBT very much il
prices for leaf tobacco would be in the
slightest degree improved By the removal
of the provision requiring ell dealers to
be licensed. The license figure is entire
ly reasonable and within the rescd OF any
person with the means to do that sort OF
business"
This news, thst Mr.. Carlisle will only
yield the slight point OF the license tax,
and that only in obedience to the farming
communities in Virginia, North Carolina
snd Kentucky, would reopen end unsetGe
the whole tariff question. 1t is regarded
as certain to arouse Mr.. Randall again,
but it will leave him without the active
aid OF several men upon whom he ha5
been relying Cor important SIS sistance.

DON'T CO.


yaSt is the advice OF those who have
seen to California and who have returned
to Texas. Don't &C! Why should eny
one leave Texas for California? Is it Tor
salubrity of climate? Then West Texas
can rival the Golden slope. Is it for fer
tility of soil? In this also can West
Texas compete with the Pacific coast.
The California craze is con" and it must
run it's course. Those who have made up
their minds to go there will go; those
who are yet open to conviction may be
induced TO consider and weigh the rela-
tive merits of the two places. The eli
mate of Texas is just as good
as that OF California, the year round
The soil is just as productive. Out where
the most reliable maps OF the country
picture barren desert, vegetables are
being rsised by irrigation shat cannot be
improved upon in this world. M. George
B. Hendricks of the W. A. Huffman In

the west and has brought with him c
sample of the various products OF the
soil-beets, sweet potatoes, tomatoes,
carrots and onious of incredible
size that were raised near Pecos
where one ertesian well gives forth
II, 600 gallons of water per hour, which is
used in irrigation. Cotton samples also
were secured, and the cotton was sam

the best Judges in the state, who pro
nounced it unsurpassed. And 80 with al
other products. They can be grown here

in Texas can be purchased for 81 pc

How l. WORKS.

Open Letter to Mrs. Frank Leslie IN New York
Times.
MADAME: Your late annoyance at the
custom house, which has terminated SO
triumphsntly for you, will, hope, prove
of irfidite service to the cause OF tariff
reform. There is standing saying that
England will never alter the compartment
railway car system until an Archbishop
or Prime Minister is either roasted alive
or assassinated in one Of them. Now, If
only few editors Of Influential newspa
pers could be made to taste once in awhile
the bitter cups OF insults, arbitrary rul-
ings, to say nothing Of loss OF time end
money, that the unfortunate importer has
to submit to on account Of cur
shameful, swindling tariff system, we
might then expect speedier relief. But,
madame, allow me 20 say that the seizure
of your six yards Of poplin was by no
means tie chief outrage. The outrage
was thatEthe Cfficious insp ciress seized
thls srticle from Mrs. Frank Leslie. This
YVES an official "blupder," which, of
course, is worse than crime. But let
me show for the general e6ificatiOn Of the
public some similar seizures; and as the
people thus legally despoiled cid not have
your social position nor c great neWspa-
per and not your high spirit to seek re-
dress, the public heard no more Of it.
Before me ia a custom house sale cate
logue of Saturday, May 30, 1887, Of goods
seized for violation Of the law, | find the
following articles advertised for sale:
II yaEds of dress goods.
l picture frame.
l glove box.
3 sheepsklns.
pair of straw shoes.
rosarles.
Ssh receivers.
l tub.
handkerchiefs.
! suit Of clothes.
l handkerchief box.
I6 yards wooden cloth, cut up in six
pieces.
OF COURSE, these were oil separate se,z-
u-es. The seventeen yards of dress
goods was SEIZED from some passenger
from Liverpool, perhaps aa emlgrant.
The suit Of clothes was from passenger
from Glasgow. In fact, most Of these
articles were the property OF people who
wanted the goods for treir own private
use, and not to 20 into competition with
IT aristocratic home industry. After al,
your resentment, msdsme, should not De
% much against the officious inspectress
| (Who only did her duty as she under
stood it, and which she WAS accustomed
to do daily, as it should be against that
swindling, shameful, oppressive tsrif
system under which this free and happy
country now groans. Anyhow, as tariff
reformer of twenty years' standing,
congratulate myself snd the good cause
that tariff reform has by the mishap Of
the now historical six yards of pOplir
gained fair and powerful allV. Very
respectfully, j. 5. MOOSE.
